It wouldn’t be summer without the Party Favorz Beach House Edition, and this year’s set truly captures the essence of summer vibes!
Beach House 2024 has everything for House Music lovers, including straight-up House, Disco House, Latin House, Tech House, and Afro House, all seamlessly blended into a smoothie mix perfect for pool and beach parties.
From the fabulous opening piano chords on the David Penn remix of “Our Love (80s)” by Yours to the sweat-inducing “Body Next To Mine” by Alex Adair and Bottom Up, this summer Funky House set hits all the right notes.
A personal favorite is “Post That (Shit)” by Deon Cole and Terry Hunter. This track exudes a vogue vibe, beckoning listeners to post their poses to social media while enjoying a very Salsoul Records feel. The Chicago callout reminds us that the city is the birthplace of House Music.
Mark Lower and Alexandra Prince give us a summery cocktail spin on “Paradise,” a remake of the Sade classic. Tyshawn Colquitt remakes the disco classic “Spank” with DJ Spen adding a faithful garage mix, complete with horns. Armand Van Helden updates his early Millennium classic “My My My” with the uncredited Tara McDonald on vocals, creating another personal favorite. Meanwhile, Simon Fava, Yvvan Back & Cumbiafrica bring “The Heat” with their Latin Tech House track, which is currently topping many playlists.
Another standout is “Move On Up” by Curtis Mayfield, with the incomparable Mark Knight performing remix duties. I didn’t realize that the “Superfly” guy originally sang this song. Destination took it to #1 on the Disco charts in 1979, and Knight gives the original Soul/Funk version the Disco treatment, using Mayfield’s original vocals. It’s absolutely uplifting!
DJ Ritmo Latino’s “Ritmo Latino” is one of several Latin House songs included here that lend a salsa vibe laid over a house beat. Yvvan Back and Afterman deliver the Tech House track “Who’s That Girl,” which, with its Latin House delivery, belongs here more than on any Tech House set, where it’s currently riding high.
Finally, two other favorites are “Ain’t Got No” by KPD and David Penn. The upbeat bounce of the song contrasts with the singer’s declaration that she “ain’t got nobody,” a weird pairing that just works. Equally, Serge Funk’s “Please Don’t Leave” delivers a satisfying early 70s vibe laid over a Disco House beat that, contrary to the singer’s plea, makes you elated and eager to dance.
Believe it or not, I knocked out Beach House 2024 in one sitting, aiming for a carefree, open vibe to accompany the music, and it just melted together like butter! Beach House 2024 is your summer soundtrack to plain ole fun.
Until the next time…ENJOY!
